      <span class="emphasis"><em>Boost.Convert</em></span> makes use of SFINAE for correct <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">convert</span><span class="special">()</span></code> deployment depending on the context. Unfortunately,
      the correctness and the completeness of SFINAE support varies with different
      compilers and different versions of those compilers. Consequently, some compilers
      fail to compile <span class="emphasis"><em>Boost.Convert</em></span> API (although the actual
      functionality provided by the converters themselves is probably availabable
      via other non-standard means). <span class="emphasis"><em>Boost.Convert</em></span> has been
      tested through the Boost regression-testing framework with the following results:

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">

          CLANG. Successfully tested with versions from 2.9 to 3.6;

          GCC. Successfully tested with versions from 4.2.1 through to 5.0. Earlier
          versions were not tested;

          Intel C++ compiler. Successfully tested with versions from 12.1 forward.
          Earlier versions fail to compile <span class="emphasis"><em>Boost.Convert</em></span> due

<li class="listitem">
          MSVC. Successfully tested from MSVC 2013 (msvc-12.0) forward. Earlier versions
